E! News and TODAY Show both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 68% of TODAY Show's written reviews are positive against 27% of E! News's. TODAY Show also leads on device support (3 vs 1). E! News's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
